Speaking Your Brand: Public Speaking Tips and Strategies 324: Creating Strategic Collaborations with Cara Steinmann [Marketing Series]
We’re continuing our series on how marketing is changing and new approaches you can take to more effectively connect with your audiences and prospective clients.
Last week, I kicked off this series on how we’re ditching the traditional hero’s journey framework for marketing and how here at SYB we’re approaching marketing.
I knew I had to have on as my guest today, Cara Steinmann, for this series.
I met Cara last fall and when we had a consult call and I learned about the work she does around relationship building and strategic collaborations, I was instantly intrigued.
I got to know Cara over the past couple of months as she went through our Thought Leader Academy.
In this episode, Cara and I talk about:
- What strategic relationships and collaborations look like
- Why who you see as a competitor may be the perfect person for a collaboration
- Why you don’t need to be an extrovert to be good at networking
- How to go about building strategic relationships
- Why Cara decided to join our Thought Leader Academy and what her experience was
